General Method Description

Chompy killing is usually called "hunting", because it represents a combination of normal ranged combat and elements of the Hunter skill, which chompy hunting preceded. It is done for fun and to get cool chompy hats, but can also be a way to make money, since raw chompy meat is the primary ingredient in wild pies and hence rather valuable.

The biggest nuisance with collecting the chompy meat is that it is very heavy, so it used to be necessary to use energy potions to restore lost energy. However, recent changes have made run energy restore naturally at a much higher rate, so this is no longer an issue.

At mid level and up you should have completed the Zogre Flesh Eaters quest, so you can wield the ogre composite bow. This is better than the regular bow, especially if you use good arrows like adamant brutals (rune brutals are better still, but pricey.) Use a spirit terrorbird at mid and high levels to carry extra chompy meat, or a pack yak at level 96. Don't use a war tortoise as its high pouch cost doesn't pay off here.
